About Zuber

I’m a strategic operator who builds structure in fast-moving environments.

Over the past 8+ years, I’ve worked across consulting, scale-ups, and regulated industries — leading cross-functional projects, launching products, and creating systems that enable growth. I’ve owned P&L, shaped go-to-market strategy, and delivered complex programmes involving product, legal, tech, and operations teams.

Recent work includes:

Launching a £5m+ national AI platform in the UK energy sector

Scaling a £1m+ logistics account 20x from pilot to flagship client

Embedding OKRs and operating cadence across a global matrix organisation

Designing scalable systems for an education NGO preparing for multi-country expansion

I’m comfortable operating between strategy and execution; whether that’s defining roadmap, aligning stakeholders, or getting into the detail with delivery teams.

Typical engagements:
• Chief of Staff / Strategic Projects
• BizOps & Operating Model Design
• Go-to-Market & Product Launch
• Process Design & Systems Implementation
• Cross-functional Programme Leadership

If you need someone who can bring clarity, momentum, and structure to an ambiguous environment — I can help.
